b) Calculate the gravimetric stoichiometric air/fuel ratio for a type of fuel with the gravimetric mixture given in Table Q2 below. Assume that the air consists of 79% of Nitrogen (N) and 21% of Oxygen (0). The molar masses of Oxygen and Nitrogen molecules are, respectively, 32 and 28 (kg/kmol). Component Name Hexane Octane Local equivalence ratio (lue/air) 6 5 N Component 500 C6H14 C8H18 [5 marks] c) Which region (A or B) on the phi-T graph in Figure Q2-2 corresponds to the area where high soot emissions are formed and why?
